The two other afternoon hosts that beat Trivisonno were Scott Howitt and Danny Wright and they are both gone. I don't understand what the big deal about Trivisonno is? Why does Clear Channel have this need to fire anyone who competes with him. Check back after another ratings book if Chuck beats him in the ratings he will be either a)fired or b) moved to a different shift so Triv will reign supreme in the afternoon ratings like he claims ROFL.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13975530.post-1159808718949440802006-10-02T13:05:00.000-04:002006-10-02T13:05:00.000-04:00Not being a native I can say this: Triv and the na...Not being a native I can say this: Triv and the native Cleveland mentality are a perfect match.

In other words, he'll fit in just fine with the embarrassment called "19/43."

That's what he did (sometimes breathlessly) before new CBS management blew out the anchor staff at KOVR between the time it closed on the station in June and the end of 2005.<BR/><BR/>The general news format on KOVR has long tended to be of the "if it bleeds, it leads" variety. It was "Action News 13" as an ABC affiliate when I began shooting film for TV back in the mid 70's and hasn't strayed all that much from that general philosophy.<BR/><BR/>I had hopes about a shift toward something a bit more eriudite when the station introduced a striking new set, weather graphics tools, anchors (including Jonchic's replacement ex KCRA Sacramento, CNBC anchor Sam Shane. <BR/><BR/>It's different, but not so much different. Watching some newscasts, I wonder whether Shane thinks he's a fish sometimes out of water for a bit. The emphasis can sometimes be "lead with breaking news... even trivial breaking news, just because it's breaking."<BR/><BR/>"Call Kurtis" has been one of the redeeming segments, even though sometimes the promotion goes a tad toward the "Six dwarfs mauled by lions at the circus" style. It's picked up the "help the consumer" focus that market leader KCRA used to have with its "Call 3" consumer reporting. KCRA now focuses on goverment waste and getting streetlights working.<BR/><BR/>Moving to Mornings:<BR/><BR/>As OMW pointed out... TV stations with news departments are looking at mornings much in the same way radio does... makea da money in da Mornin.<BR/><BR/>In the Sacramento market, News 10 (KXTV) moved Dan Elliot from anchoring one of the early weeknight casts to mornings. Some thought it was a demotion... others accepted what I seem to recall was the station's explanation that it valued the time slot and wanted to put good talent there.<BR/><BR/>Ted in Marysville (CA) north of Sacramento... where OMW used to work at the Sacramento CC blowtorch.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13975530.post-1159653118745872752006-09-30T17:51:00.000-04:002006-09-30T17:51:00.000-04:00More importantly then the Triv/WOIO deal...How com...More importantly then the Triv/WOIO deal...How come WWMK 1260 has been off the air for at least a week?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13975530.post-1159651856573299002006-09-30T17:30:00.000-04:002006-09-30T17:30:00.000-04:00You have to f@$kin be kidding me.
